===========

EDLProgram  ::= Statement*
Statement   ::= CommandName [ “(” Parameters “)” ] “;”
              | “Element” “(” Name “,” TypeName “)” Body
              | “List” “(” Name “,” TypeName [“,” ListLen] “)” Body
              | “Switch” “(” Name “)” SwitchBody
Body        ::= Statement
              | “{” Statement* “}”
              | “SELF” “;”
SwitchBody  ::= “{” SwitchEntry* “}”
SwitchEntry ::= SwitchLabel+ “{” Statement* “}”
SwitchLabel ::= “case” Expression “:” ;must be a constant expression
              | “default” “:”
Parameters  ::= Parameter
              | Parameter “,” Parameters
Parameter   ::= Expression | string
Expression  ::= Expression “|” AndExpr
              | AndExpr
AndExpr     ::= AndExpr “&” AddExpr
              | AddExpr
AddExpr     ::= AddExpr (“+” | “-”) MulExpr
              | MulExpr
MulExpr     ::= MulExpr (“*” | “/” | “%”) UnaryExpr
              | UnaryExpr
UnaryExpr   ::= [“+” | “-” | “~”] Term
Term        ::= number | charConstant | identifier
              | “(” Expression “)”
              | “Len” “(” Name “)”
ListLen     ::= Expression
              | “ZeroBasedCount” “(” bitCount “)”
              | “OneBasedCount” “(” bitCount “)”
              | “ZeroTerminator” “(” bitCount “)”
              | “Unbounded”
CommandName ::= string      ;see below for a list of commands
TypeName    ::= string      ;name of an element type
Name        ::= string      ;attribute name in the current element
